about to call neuro?

[allie510]

I don't really like bothering dr's but this head ache is not going away and it's STRONG..last time i had a head ache like this i ended up in the ER because of a seizure I need to know if this is just a side effect n i should calm down orrrr if im just having a horrible headache n should call the doc.:twocents:

When in doubt, call the doc, especially since you've had the STRONG headache for some time now. And if it's a side effect of a med, the dr. needs to know. BTW, you're NOT bothering the dr.

Try Tylenol (acetaminophen) -- it can help with the "Lamictal headache", which you can experience when tapering on or off...

I would call...a bad migraine is sign of pending seizure for me too. Plus with it being Friday, you could get stuck with whoever at the ER if you wait.

It can be a common Lamictal side effect, but not everyone experiences it the same way. I had the headache on and off for about a week when transitioning onto Lamictal. (Google "Lamictal headache" if you want to see what different folks report). Do what you can to de-stress and feel better -- but if the headache's unbearable, or you're afraid of having a seizure, definitely check in with the doctor.
